Hanging in the air 2

By Parson Thru

The crowds are in the streets
Beating themselves bloody

Coffins are passed over heads
The shrieking is bursting my ears

Freedom has torn the sky
Leaving its boiling towers

Flesh dries where it fell
Amid piles of Palaeolithic stones

Spirit emits its tensile scream
The sun has been overcome
